And for more of the story we have your reporter stacy givens with us here in our studio hi stacey thanks for joining us weve seen 2 weeks after George Floyds death these protests in the u. S. Not letting up growing bigger in some cities what are we seeing happening in the u. S. Right the host of momentum continuing to keep up i think people are really coming together they see this as a chance to really make systematic change in the United States so that there is equality and humanity for all american citizens theres been some pushback from people who like to scream matter but these activists are quick to point out that until black people are treated with the same respect and humanity as whites in the United States you cant say that all lives matter because theyre not treated equally and yes theyve been arrest in the killing of george floyd but they feel like now they can push for more and like i said systematic change what kind of change are we talking about because as you mentioned in the Police Officer who had his knee on George Floyds neck has been charged the other officers who were on the scene have also been charged so what is it concretely the protesters are demanding well they want to have a different presence in their community when it comes to policing youve seen the protests and not just this Michael Brown and ferguson where police were on tanks and it was like the American Public who has the right to voice their opinion the right to protest were treated like the enemy like they were in some kind of a combatant situation and so what black lives matter is pushing for is the defunding of Police Departments and that simply means that their budgets are are shrunk and that that money is used in other areas homelessness food banks social other social services so that people in the community are actually getting the help they need and less policing and then police are actually able to do the jobs that they were trained to do and its also theyre also trying to reduce the contact that. People have with the police oftentimes you hear well the police need more training when when a black person is killed and and as an armed but they dont need training when theyre taking in a wild gunman who is white then dylan wrote who killed all those people in charleston in the Charleston Church he was taken into custody without a scratch and then they took him up for a Hamburger Police black people are not treated with the thing kind of dignity ok so these are some of the steps that have been called for by protesters what about on a larger scale are we seeing these ongoing protests lead to real political reform well the mayor of new york and the mayor of los angeles have pledged to defund there the Police Departments so youre seeing something there House Democrats and Senate Democrats are introducing a bill on later today that will make it easier to prosecute police and will make it easier to sue them for damages if theyre convicted so a lot of times when police are sued and if there is a payout its the community thats paying activists believe if you hit police where it hurts which is their own pocketbooks that this will correct the behavior of the reporter stacey begins with us here in studio thank you very much 1st week of demonstrations against racism and Police Brutality triggered by the killing of george floyd has gone global this weekend at which the heart of europe thousands gathered in the center of the capital brussels on sunday while smaller demonstrations were held in other cities they were not just pro protesting the problems in the u. S. There were also calling attention to systemic racism in belgium and to the deaths of black belgians during interactions with Police Belgian racism can be traced back to its colonial history and the countrys king leopold the 2nd statues of him can still be found across belgium to this day. He still here in belgium king leopold the 2nd who made congo his personal property abused the people and exploited their land. The statue is of all places by matangi a brussels district named after an area of congos capital kinshasa a slice of africa in belgium and a magnet for tourists. Share this dinner george owns a bookshop in the district she says she doesnt feel accepted as a black belgian woman. Part to look at more of her i get angry when someone just walks into the shop without asking or talking to me or someone who comes in here asks where im from where im from belgium big morphys young believe the roots of her family and that of many others a part of compost trauma. King leopold colonized the country in 885. 00 and ruled was horrific brutality cutting off peoples hands was a common punishment. Some estimate that more than 10000000 congolese people died chewing gardens rule and exploitation of congolese Natural Resources by free copper and rubber when european colonialist left independence was not accompanied by compensation. Many belgians have congolese roots and many are discriminated against because of their color they often get a 2nd best whether its a flat or a job. Show esteem issues or she says her teenage son is often avoided on the street only you know he wears these little glasses but there was this elderly woman who clutched her bag as she walked past i asked myself many questions its terrible you cant grieve where you live in your home where you experience these things yes there are the situations that are unpleasant. To meet. Is a thing of history could help the progress slow down. Now to a special debbie report on the situation in chinas rest of the region where researchers estimate up to a 1000000 people have been detained in socalled reeducation camps the remote province and chinas far northwest is off limits to International Media the Muslim Leaders who make up most of the population there have long faced repression by chinese authorities including and recent years a lengthy imprisonment now these Investigative Team has found that many imprisoned leaders inside the camps have been forced to choose from a list of crimes and are then sentenced in champed trials without access to due process the team spoke to those who escaped chinas vast network of oppression inch and jack. You dont have any freedom or your money 247 they can interrogate you if any time even at night when youre asleep the women i was waved ended up there because they had want to head scarf. Over traveled abroad there wasnt a single criminal among. Thats the voice of a woman who spent almost a year inside a reeducation camp in china with keeping her identity a secret in order to protect her family and singe on a remote region in northwest china. She ingenues home to the we go is a predominantly muslim ethnic group. Decades of state sponsored discrimination against them has spread into discontent and at times of violence including riots and terror attacks. In response china has cracked down and we go and built up a close knit Surveillance System deal 47 prisoners more than a 1000000 people in internment camps across 10 jang the Chinese Government claims the camps were set up to fight extremism and provide leaders with cation all skills but detainees and documents contradict that narrative rather detainees are targeted based on little more than their culture and religion and are forced to undergo a draconian and often brutal brainwashing program. And now weve on earth even more chilling evidence of chinas repression of weak we talked to former detainees who managed to escape chinas last network of reeducation camps. One day they were handed a list of alleged crimes. It was one page of paper we had to choose one item i started reading it and it said wearing a headscarf playing owning. All phoning all contact him people abroad place threatened us you will stay here until you pick a crime so i signed the paper and put my finger print. A few days after the woman was forced to sign the list they sold stocks of calling up people one by one for what amounts to a sham trial oh yes you were you there were no lawyers. There were to read out the judgement and the detainee would have to say i confessed my crimes i promise i wont repeat my wrongdoings not. Just the cost. To them. We analyze satellite imagery and publicly available material such as construction bids and tender notices i managed to locate 3 camps where these trials happened in 2018 in 3 different locations across 2. After the trials detainees started disappearing some were picked up at night others led away from their classrooms never to return. But it seems that only those who had confessed to religious acts in the childs were picked up this is yet another indication that china is targeting weaker culture and religion. The woman and the other detainees we talked to managed to escape to neighboring cuz i stand as those with cuts that president seal family members were eventually allowed to leave china. My husband says i changed sometimes i get very angry no reason is us creaming jar in the night im so exhausted all the times you must let us. That report from did abuse naomi conrad she is part of the Investigative Team working on this story hi naomi we heard there that after the trial some of the people who were detained disappeared do we know what happened to them after they were sentenced. We dont know for sure but we assume that they were either sent to prison this could be a prison inside but we also know of prisoners who would refer to prisons outside of to spread across china but its also possible that they were spend sent to a maximum security reeducation camp to be honest theres much difference between a prison and a maximum security reeducation camp prisoners are held there indefinitely the conditions are really bad but we dont know for sure because there wasnt any kind of paper paper trail for us to follow why is that the china is conducting these sham trials inside these camps. Thats a question we would have loved to put to the chinese authorities unfortunately they didnt respond to our information requests we assume that it might be because china is moving at least part of the the detainees to prison so maybe they need to legalize the whole process but it could also be before domestic audience i mean the relatives of the people who take detained often dont know what their relatives are so this could be a way to you at least give the relatives the opportunity to find out how long people are going to be detained for and to show that this is at least in part a kind of Legal Process for the Chinese Government did say earlier this year that everyone who had received socalled education and training inside these camps had graduated and all were now leading happy lives from your research how true is that. Well from our research thats not true tool i mean the authorities did close down some camps or rather turned them into dormitories a lot of detainees who graduated from the programs are now being forced to work for factories some of these factories actually produce for International Companies and clued in german ones but we also saw by looking at satellite imagery that some of the maximum security be education camps have actually expanded meaning that detainees are still in these camps that maybe even more detainees are being put inside these can. Send no the camps have been closed down and some are even expanding even expanding why has little so little been done internationally to put pressure on china or for its treatment of waivers. So there has been some movement the european parliaments called for targeted sanctions in fact the American Congress also just recently passed a bill also calling for targeted sanctions but here in europe hit in germany particularly very little has happened i mean we have to remember that china is an incredibly important trading partner so while Officials Say that behind the scenes they do talk about human rights about we the human rights issues very much is happening very little is happening publicly and also not of German CompaniesInternational Companies are active in china and also active in into jang so it might just be a question of economics versus human rights here.
